In this case, it kicked off with the implementation of a frontend solution and goes all the way to maintaining the core services. Even with new concepts, we draw on the expertise of ValueLogic developers to find the best solution for our product.

Challenges

  • Create a plain path for real estate brokers to use
  • Web application and Outlook plugin as an addition
  • Outlook plugin and services responsible for maintaining mail accounts
  • Adding data, like email address, pictures, and attachments to email via a plugin
  • Extracting data from email, like e-mail address, picture, attachment, and content using a plugin and synchronizing with FlowFact

Effective email communication

We set out to create a solution that would automate email communication with customers using popular tools. Agents receive a lot of data from clients and questions about particular properties. The challenge was to create a plugin that would allow for tying together all the needs and shorten the response process.

Solution

When an agent receives an email from a client interested in a property, they can easily add a contact, define data, and connect a concrete offer thanks to an Outlook plugin. Calendar integration, task addition and meeting invitations are additional capabilities we've built together. The application is available in the Microsoft store.

The mentioned Outlook Addin has grown from a rough prototype to fully grown, complete solution that has extended our product fully into the O365-world. In our core product, we (FLOWFACT developers and ValueLogic developers) build a new solution for O365 synchronization, which means building the service, taking care of a successful migration process and independently maintaining it to this day.
